Olshan Named Top IP Litigation Law Firm By Fortune 500 General Counsel

NEW YORK, January 9, 2013 - Olshan announced today that it has been selected by Corporate Counsel magazine as one of the "2013 Go-To Law Firms®" for Fortune 500 Companies in Intellectual Property Litigation, placing the firm in an elite group that delivers exceptional work for in-house legal departments at Fortune 500 companies.

“Olshan is honored to be included among this highly select group of law firms,” said Steven R. Gursky, the head of the Intellectual Property Law practice group at Olshan.  “We are particularly grateful to have been nominated for this recognition, as Olshan values its commitment to perform the highest quality work at the best value to our clients’ in-house legal departments.  To be acknowledged in this way confirms that we have been successful in keeping our commitment to them,” Mr. Gursky concluded.

American Lawyer Media, publisher of Corporate Counsel’s 10th annual reference guide, “In-House Law Departments at the Top 500 Companies,” surveyed Fortune 500 companies’ General Counsel to determine which law firms they rely on for outside counsel in key practice areas.  Based on this input, as well as in-depth research in key industry databases, public filings and other resources, firms were selected for inclusion in the guide, which is distributed nationally to in-house counsel at all Fortune 500 companies, as well as leading business executives and law firms throughout the U.S.
